The good death squad has just launched, and it has become a death squad before they even see the target Jiuyuan Racecourse.
After all, he was a general entrusted by Kudo Naoto. Although he was filled with despair, he still maintained a clear mind.
Although he called his subordinates to follow and charge, Shinya Iwagami did not let his subordinates stupidly line up in a long snake formation and go out to die. He still divided into five teams, each choosing a direction to try to break out.
The rocky beach is quite large and can hide thousands of people.
It's just that there are many people in Yunchui and they are riding war horses, and the terrain outside the rocky beach is gentle...
It may not be easy for them to escape.
Shinya Iwagami sighed secretly and ordered loudly: "Use all the kerosene and don't leave half a bag to Yun Chuiren!"
"yes!"
However, the landing team not only had to travel a long distance to Jiuyuan Racecourse, but also had to carry heavy kerosene, powder and food. Therefore, except for a few soft bows, they did not bring any other heavy or long-range weapons.
The soldiers looked around and quickly assembled more than twenty crude trebuchets using clothes belts and bushes.
"Prepare, release!"
The quality of the temporarily assembled trebuchet is worrying.
The Japanese pirate soldiers didn't expect how far it could be thrown or how lethal it was. They just randomly chose the direction where they were making a lot of noise and threw the wrapped kerosene directly.
As for the outcome, just leave it to fate.
As soon as these fire bombs flew to the outside of the rocky beach, they fell to the ground one after another, and soon a raging fire broke out.
Lieutenant Zhang's heart tightened.
He subconsciously looked at the direction of the wind, turned back and stared closely at the objects thrown by the Japanese pirates, and quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as what the other person throws at you is nothing, just let them go.
As for throwing kerosene, that's even better.
Fire can destroy everything, including plague.
Moreover, there are a lot of weeds and shrubs around the rocky beach that can hide people, which can be burned cleanly.
He waved his hand casually, "Keep an eye on the location of the opponent's trebuchet. When they throw stones, I will kill them."
"yes!"
The slingers in Yunchui were wondering whether their journey would be in vain.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers turned around and silently aimed at the position of the opponent's trebuchet.
Boom boom boom.
The baggage was unloaded and several tall watchtowers were quickly built.
The soldiers who acted as eyes climbed up one after another.
After a while, they clearly saw the general situation in the rocky beach, and they waved their flags one after another to command long-range weapons such as trebuchets or sent their soldiers to encircle the fleeing enemies.
"Prepare the trebuchet, release it!"
Hoo ho ho.
Yun Chui's trebuchet finally started.
Generally speaking, the weapons and equipment possessed by local guards and the daily training of soldiers are far inferior to those of major border guards, but in the end they are still much stronger than those improvised by Japanese pirates.
Fireballs or stones flew towards the rocky beach one after another, and hit the large position seen from the watchtower with a bang.
Wow.
Not long after, raging fires broke out everywhere in the rocky beach.
"kill!"
The scattered Japanese pirates over there had just stumbled out of the rocky beach and met Yun Chuiren who was waiting for them outside.
There was no politeness between the two sides. After a burst of arrows flying around, they started to shout and kill each other.
The Japanese pirates regarded death as if they were home and were not afraid. However, Yun Chui's soldiers could not give in too much.
Two years ago, Emperor Changxing initiated the reorganization of the Yunchui garrison. Except for Dingxi County, which was in a war-torn area, the garrison troops in other counties were either disbanded or selected one of three or four. Those who were unqualified were all dismissed.
In addition, Mo Canghai has been strict in managing the army since he took office.
Therefore, even if they face the crazy Japanese pirates, the Yunchui soldiers are not weak at all, and some are even excited.
boom!
The sound of killing shook the sky, and the two sides collided fiercely...
North Customs, Starfall Legion garrison.
Wei Junqian had just put down the information in his hand when hurried footsteps came from outside again.
"General, new news from Jiuyuan Racecourse."
"Is there any new news?" Wei Junqian took it over and looked at it, feeling dumbfounded for a moment.
He had just given an order, ordering the warships from Beihai Customs to set off immediately and rush as quickly as possible to the east of Jiuyuan County to block the thirty warships of the Japanese pirates.
As a result, just as the warship was about to leave the port, it received the second message from Mo Canghai.
"The order to sail the warships south is cancelled, and the soldiers will continue training."
After Wei Junqian sent the order, he thought for a while, picked up the pen and walked to the map.
Fleets or waterways are good things.
The three northern counties of Yanhui, Yumu and Jinghu are all built around Jinghu, and Jinghu is not too far from Beihai.
Wei Junqian looked at it and suddenly drew a line between Jinghu Lake and Beihai.
As long as the court is willing, a river channel similar to the Xinglan Grand Canal can be opened between the two.
Traditionally, the black land around Jinghu Lake is also a major grain-producing area. The three northern counties are the front line against Beixiong.
It's just that the winter here is long, and there is always ice and snow everywhere.
If such a canal can be opened in Jinghu Lake, it will be many times safer and faster for people and goods to enter and exit the three northern counties in the future.
And if Mo Canghai or future county captains had enough warships, it would be extremely advantageous whether they were guarding the three counties or heading east to the sea.
After thinking about it, Wei Junqian's eyes fell on the middle part of the cloud.
He raised his hand again and heavily drew a line between the middle section of the Xinglan Grand Canal, Mist County and Laigu County, and then drew another line between Mist County and Qingshi County.
In Lai Valley, the Lai River runs from east to west, and finally flows into the vast swamp of mist.
In the Xingluo Basin, a large river was born in Yunzhong County. It winds through Yingchuan County and Xingluo County and then goes north, along the edge of Qingshi County to the east, and finally flows into the sea.
The fog is a swamp, so it is not too difficult to dig a canal. If we dig east-west and north-south canals...
Wei Junqian took a few steps back and looked at Yunchui Map again.
At this sight, his eyes lit up a bit.
Only three canals need to be dug, and then most of the country in Yunchui will be connected by waterways.
To the east is the sea. Going north along the coast, you can pass through Jiuyuan Racecourse and reach Beiguan and the three northern counties of Yanhui, Yumu, and Jinghu.
Going south, you can go directly to the two major medicine warehouses, Xiyu, Baihua and Canglan, and finally reach Guangxin, which is rich in rubber, through the Huchou River.
To the west, you can cross the Xinglan Grand Canal to connect to Xingji City, the capital of God, and pass through Misty County to finally reach Laigu and Tianshui County, and connect to Yingling County, another racecourse in Yunchui.
From the southwest, you can directly access Qingshi County, which is rich in iron ore, and Xingluo, Yingchuan and Yunzhong counties in the Xingluo Basin.
The only regret is that Dingxi County is isolated to the west by the vast Luoxia Mountains.
Soon Wei Junqian withdrew his gaze again.
Digging canals is no small matter, let alone digging three canals at once.
Not only must the emperor in court or on the throne have the relevant wishes, but the treasury must also have enough money.
In the past, all discerning people knew that building the north-south post road in Mist County was a great thing that would benefit the country and the people.
However, after a long period of debate, it was not until an earthquake in Qingshi County that the post road was seriously damaged that construction had to begin...
Bang bang.
Wei Junqian came to his senses and tapped the map gently.
As long as the people in the country live and work in peace and contentment, and the people's hard work is reflected in the clouds, the national treasury will be gradually filled sooner or later.
The only obstacle is the person on the dragon throne.
After thinking about it, his eyes fell on the newspaper on the table.
